What is the daughter nuclide when 0-15 experiences positron emission?
1 answer:
The daughter isotope (a decay product)of O-15 = N-15(Nitrogen 15)
<h3>Further explanation </h3>Radioactivity is the process of unstable isotopes to stable isotopes by decay, by emitting certain particles,
- alpha α particles ₂He⁴
- beta β ₋₁e⁰ particles
- gamma particles γ
- positron particles ₁e⁰
O-15 emits positron particles ₁e⁰, so the atomic number decreases by 1, the mass number is the same
Reaction
The mass number of the daughter isotope = 15, atomic number = 7
If we look at the periodic system, the element with atomic number 7 is Nitrogen (N)

Answer: Thus the correct option is D. All of the above describe a mole
Explanation:
According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance weighs equal to molecular mass in grams.
1 mole of every substance contains avogadro's number of particles.
Mole is the S.I unit for measuring the amount of substance. It is often used to measure large number of particles.
Thus the correct option is D. All of the above describe a mole
